Our infrastructure pen testing services

Internal infrastructure penetration testing

Internal infrastructure penetration testing

Designed to see what a threat actor could break into with employee-level or direct network access.

In this test, we simulate a malicious user on your network, a compromised asset or an attacker who has leveraged other vulnerabilities to gain direct access to the networks in your organization. 

External infrastructure penetration testing

External infrastructure penetration testing

This type of infrastructure security test is designed to audit your external presence and determine how easily your system can be breached with little to no available information other than what can be publicly viewed on the web.


Prevent infrastructure and network security breaches

Prevent infrastructure and network security breaches

Infrastructure testing is a proven way to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in a controlled environment.

Our expert penetration testers will conduct a thorough analysis of your target networks to:

  • Uncover internal and external vulnerabilities
  • Exploit network security flaws and insecure functionality
  • Expose any misconfigurations and logic flaws
  • Check for critical security risks including the OWASP Top 10

Vulnerabilities will be clearly detailed along with actionable remediation advice, giving you the opportunity to fix them before they can be exploited.


Common infrastructure vulnerabilities

Common infrastructure vulnerabilities

Your network infrastructure needs to be regularly assessed to identify and remediate security threats before an attacker finds them.

Here are some of the most common vulnerabilities we see and check for during network infrastructure security testing:

  • SSL misconfigurations
  • Missing HTTP security headers
  • Outdated website libraries/components
  • SMB signing not required
  • Outdated/unsupported third-party software

Frequently Asked Questions

Infrastructure penetration testing is a type of pen test that checks systems and networks for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that could be exploited by an attacker. 

Infrastructure testing can be internal or external to simulate the different types of access that an attacker or malicious user may have. You can test your security policies, access controls and more to ensure that your networks are secure against attack. 

Once your infrastructure security test is complete, you’ll get a full list of any vulnerabilities found, along with actionable remediation advice. 

After our experts complete the network penetration test, you will receive a comprehensive report containing:

  • All risks based on the current server/ application setup/configuration 
  • Vulnerabilities and running services for the servers and applications 
  • Details of what has been exploited
  • Remediation steps for each security issue 
  • Near-term and long-term actions 

Our testers do not actively fix issues within your network environment; however your infrastructure security report will include a breakdown of each threat found with actionable remediation advice. You can then follow the steps outlined by our testers to fix the vulnerabilities, either yourself or with your IT support provider (where applicable).

  • Small apps, networks, cloud systems: 2-3 days 
  • Medium apps, networks, cloud systems: 5-10 days 
  • Larger apps, networks, cloud systems: 10 days+ 

All tests are tailored to your specific needs, so these timeframes are only a rough guide.

Testing can be performed against a non-production replica of your live environment, such as a UAT/QA environment, to ensure that your live services are not at risk. If testing against production is unavoidable, we can coordinate our activities to minimize the impact on your business. You can also specify testing limitations to ensure that there is no noticeable impact on your day-to-day operations. 

Regular and thorough assessments of your current cybersecurity setup are always recommended to help you steer clear of security breaches which can result in severe financial and reputational losses.

We would always advise the safest approach for a company is to look at your cyber security holistically, and test widely across your network. This is important, as small weaknesses in different areas could combine to into a more serious threat or exploit.
